Italian Court Convicts Three Egyptian Security Officials in Giulio Regeni Kidnapping Case
An Italian court has convicted three Egyptian security officials in absentia over the kidnapping and killing of Italian doctoral student Giulio Regeni, a case that has strained relations between Rome and Cairo for nearly a decade. The verdict marks a significant legal milestone, but it is unlikely to resolve the diplomatic and accountability dispute that has shadowed the investigation since Regeniโs body was found in Egypt in 2016.
